Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I always kept a spare key in a magnetic key box hidden under the chassis somewhere, just in case I got locked out.
The BS is a little more complicated due to needing the Intelligent Access key to start the engine, even after using the mechanical key blade to open the driver's door.
This is what I plan to do, let me know if this makes sense or if there's a better way.

- Buy another Intelligent Access key from Amazon
- Have a locksmith cut a blank mechanical key blade to match my existing key blade & store it in the magnetic key box
- Program the new Intelligent Access key using the two original Intelligent Access keys
- Remove the battery from the new Intelligent Access key rendering it passive. It will start the BS but only when placed directly into the hidden "backup slot" (see manual p156)
- Store the passive Intelligent Access key in the glove box or somewhere in the vehicle.
